You've got to make it to Southern California some time in life. It
will be a great adventure.

There are many other Mexican items that make simplistic use of simple
items. They also use corn masa as the base or external structure as
with tamales, pombasos, tlacayo, sope, huarache. The last two are more
or less a bed of masa--the first is round, the second is elongated
(like a sandal; a huarache).

And so forth.
